Home › Forums › Swing Trades › 2b Reversal in BABA
This is a “failed breakout” setup in BABA.
IF BABA breaches today’s low, buy the Dec 120 put, probably for about 7 bucks.
Place your stop at 120.55, which is a few points above today’s HOD.
IF BABA doesn’t breach today’s low then this is a no trade.
Assuming a buy at 7 bucks and a stop at 120.55, that is a risk of about -105 per option. If you get a profit of 105 per option, take half the position off.
Getting ready to sell 1/2 position at 7.80
Going to SPREAD the puts to reduce risk.
SELL TO OPEN Dec 105 put for 2.10
This will cut our delta from -61 per contract to -38 per contract. It will also significantly reduce theta risk while still keeping us in the trade.
Time to bail on this trade, it’s seen a nice selloff but it’s BABA and all it takes is one upgrade to see a hard reversal and squeeze higher.
Either trail a stop at 112.40, or close the trade outright here:
Sell to close Dec 120 put for 11.00
Buy to close Dec 105 put for 2.45
